Default How do I print a Word doc in 4-page signatures (impositions)?

I am trying to print a 4.25"x5.5" homemade book on letter-sized paper. To
print signatures, one sheet of paper contains pages 8 and 1 on the front, and
2 and 7 on the back, etc.

Is there a way, using either Word or Publisher, to print in signatures?

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...etPrinting.htm, but note that
any of these methods will work only for 5.5" x 8.5" booklets. A booklet
requiring two folds is beyond the scope of Word. Publisher can do something
of the sort with greeting cards, but I don't know how well it would do
multiple pages of same (and the pagination wouldn't be correct).

You can setup Publisher to print a 4.25 X 5.5 booklet. Setting up the page this
way will result in two booklets.
